1 General Information Safety The HMDW110 series transmitter delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as shipped from the factory. Note the following precautions: Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the product or lead to malfunction.
1 General Information Software License This product contains software developed by Vaisala. Use of the software is governed by license terms and conditions included in the applicable supply contract or, in the absence of separate license terms and conditions, by the General License Conditions of Vaisala Group.
HMDW110 series transmitters can be connected to Vaisala’s RDP100 panel display for real-time viewing of the measurements. HMDW110 series can also supply the operating power to the display using only the loop power from the outputs.
2 Product Overview Output Parameters Explained HMDW110 series transmitters offer several output parameters. Relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) are the measured parameters, the others are calculated based on RH and T. Table 3 HMDW110 Series Output Parameters Parameter Symbol Units...

Do not remove for installation, only when replacing the sensor or filter. 2 = Long screws that keep the radiation shield in place (2 pcs), 3 mm hex socket. 3 = Sensors for humidity and temperature under PTFE membrane filter. 4 = Component board.
4 ... 20 mA outputs (loop powered). There is also a service port for configuration and calibration use. Figure 4 HMDW110 Series Component Board 1 = Terminal block for 4 ... 20 mA current loop outputs. 2 = Service port connector (4-pin M8).
2 Product Overview Analog Output Overrange Behavior Analog outputs of the HMDW100 series transmitters have a defined behavior when the values measured by the transmitter are outside the scaled analog output range: Output is clipped at the end of the scaled output range. You can allow the output exceed the scaled range by 10% with the aover serial command.
3 Installation INSTALLATION Selecting Location When mounting duct model transmitters: Avoid installing in a location where condensation may fall on the sensor inside the duct. Position the sensor in the center of the duct. Select a site where the transmitter can be installed horizontally, onto the side of the duct.
3 Installation HMD110/112 Installation Medium size crosshead screwdriver (Pozidriv) for screws on cover and flange. Small slotted screwdriver for screw terminals. Drill with 2.5 mm and 13 mm bits for making the installation holes. Tools for cutting and stripping wires. 19 mm open-end wrench for tightening the cable gland.
Page 17
3 Installation 4. Push the probe of the transmitter through the flange and into the duct.The probe should reach far enough so that the sensor is located in the middle of the duct. Figure 6 HMD110/112 Centering Inside Duct 5. Secure the transmitter to the flange by tightening the screw on the flange that holds the probe in place.
3 Installation HMW110/112 Installation Medium size crosshead screwdriver (Pozidriv) for cover screws. Small slotted screwdriver for screw terminals. Two installation screws: Ø ≤ 3.5 mm, head Ø ≤ 8 mm. Depending on the wall material and screw type, you may need a drill and a suitable drill bit to make installation holes for screws.
3 Installation 2. Open the transmitter cover, and route the cable through the cable gland. Connect the wires to the screw terminals according to the wiring instructions: Wiring HMDW110 on page 19 Wiring HMDW110 with RDP100 on page 21 For the arrangement of the screw terminals, see section Component Board on page 11.
Page 20
3 Installation 3. Adjust the length of cable between the cable gland and the terminal blocks. Make the cable short enough to close the cover without leaving a cable loop in the transmitter. 4. Disconnect the wired screw terminal blocks by pulling them off from the component board.
3 Installation 6. Plug in the screw terminal blocks, close the cover, and tighten the screws. 7. Secure the cable to the pole using a zip tie, or on the wall using cable clips. Allow some cable to hang down from the cable gland to prevent water from entering the transmitter along the cable.
Wiring Both Current Loops With a Single Power Supply Figure 9 HMDW110 Wiring with Single Power Supply HMDW110 Power Supply Requirements HMDW110 series transmitters are designed for a supply voltage range of 10 ... 28 VDC. The minimum required voltage depends on the loop resistance (0 ... 600 Ω) as shown below.
(terminals 7 and 8) is optional. Connect the RDP100 Remote Display Panel using terminals 1 ... 4. The HMDW110 series transmitter provides both power and data to the RDP100. Figure 11 HMDW110 Wiring with RDP100 Remote Display Panel When using the RDP100 with HMDW110 series transmitters, do not connect the Extpwr jumper to the RDP100 component board.
Before plugging in a connection cable to the service port, perform the following steps: 1. Open the cover of the HMDW110 series transmitter. 2. If the terminal block for terminals 5 ... 8 is wired, pull it out. This disconnects the transmitter from supply voltage and prevents possible equipment damage that may be caused by ground loops.
